lsai'd' arrangements preventingi'tli'e collectingiiof uiting east; partieuieriy disagreeamein rapidly preventing overheating of certain machine elements.

When using gaseous owing media these media may be used according to the invention for the blowing arrangements as well as for the source of power. The invention provides further that the blowing pressure at the initiation of the bobbin changing is temporarily increased, so that the gas, for instance the air taken from a'general service-conduit for air under pressure, blows the corresponding points impulsively. x

In order to further improve the cooling of certain machine elements and to make it possible to employ higher winding speeds also in funnel winding frames, the jacket of the winding funnel has, according to the invention, a special heat transmitting shape or it is made of material of good heat conductivity. With the same object in view the winding funnels may be equipped, according to the invention, with longitudinal, transverse or spiral-shaped cooling ribs or the like, whereby a better cooling is attained-' The winding funnel may furtherbe surrounded, according to the invention, by a double wall and in the hollow space thus` produced may be fprovided with no cooling ribs, or with very short cooling ribs. Finally, closed passages may be formed by the ribs, in double wall winding funnels according to the invention, whereby also a cooling with cooling liquid is rendered possible.

Several embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 shows a winding point in vertical section, v

On-the transverse girders I, 2 of the winding frame (Figs. 1 and 2) the individual winding points are xed side by side, by means of their casings 3, and in .any desired number. .The casing walls serve as bearing carriers, oil containers or oil sump and so forth, as usualin such constructions, and they are closed at the' 4top by covers 4. A shaft 5 serves as source of,power for all winding points. The tubeless cop K which is to be built up is wound directly on,the

tas

wheel 2U.

front end 6 of the winding spindle 'l between the winding funnel 8, the foot of which may be screwed into the casing 3, and the shiftable tailstock 9. Rods` I0, II serve for guiding the tailstock 9 and certain feeding elements, said head sliding on the rods by means of bushes I2 and I3. The winding spindle 1 is ydriven from shaft 5 through the intermediary of a gear wheel I4 meshing with a gear wheel I5 equipped with an inner cone, the hub of gear wheel I5 being mounted on a long bush I 6 serving at the same time as journal for the spindle 1. A clutch sleeve I8 revolves together with the bush I6 being slidably connected thereto by a spline Il. The bush I6 also has xedly keyed to it by a key I9, a gear One end of sleeve I8 forms a clutch cone 2I and its other end a ange 22. The clutch cone 2l engages under the action of a spring 23 with the inner conical surface of gear wheel I5.

A thread guide 30 is moved from the gear wheel 20 by a gear wheel 25, shaft 26, crank 21, rod 28 and oscillatable arm 29. The thread guide 30 moves to and fro in front of a lateral slit of the winding funnel 8. During the laying of the thread layer in process of formation, the growing cop K is pressed into the winding funnel 8 by a pull rope 3I attached to the slidable bush I2 and tensioned by means of a weight 32 or the like. The cop can `be. pulled out of the funnel, for instance when a thread breaks', by a handle 33 pivotally mounted von bush I2 and provided with an eccentric clamp surface to cam against the rod I0, for securing the bush I2 in any desiredv position thereon. The winding spindle 6 together with the cop K can follow this movement without diiculty, as its end 34 bears a piston 35 which slides in a cylinder 36 as the spindle 1 slides in an inner ring 3l of the driving bush I6. A guide groove 38 receives a key of ring31v to maintain the driving connection be' tween main shaft 5 and winding spindle 6, 1,'when the clutch I5, 2I is engaged.

The front end of winding spindle 6 or the bottom end of the cop K bears against the tailstock 9 in a specially constructed counter-cone 39, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. This counter-cone 39 has three notches 4Ia, 4Ib and 4Ic cut obliquely to the axis of the spindle, the thread F being adapted to be caught in theapexes of two adjacent notches and clamped in the bore 4I) of the cone when the spindle 6 is pushed in. This form of construction presents further the advantage, that the threadis centered also when the countercone does not revolve. For receiving a nished cop and for severing the thread theusual tipping tray 42 and scissors 43 are provided. The stop motion 44 is connected by a rod 45 with a short oscillatable arm 46 adapted to be thrust against the flange 22 to release the clutch I5, 2| when the threadbreaks.

A control rod forms part of a control mechanism for energizing several devices concerned with the exchange of cops. Thecontrol rod 69 is connected by a lever k62 with a sliding rod 63 in the cylinder 36, the contact and guiding head B4 of said rod being adapted to be shifted against the action of a spring 'I0 in a manner which will be hereinafter described. A control rod 6I fixed at one end to the slidable bush I 2 gradually moves to the right as the cop grows. It carries at the other end a small tipping lever |55,v which arrives in the position shown in Fig. 1 as the cop approaches full length and there engages two levers 66, 61. The lever 61 controlsby a shaft 68 a con- .controlling abutments in'rigs. 110415 als-follows:

The cop drops into the tray 42 which has meanwhile been rocked by .the hinges |08, |09 in clockwise direction, to a posi- I tion, which corresponds to the obliqueI position assumed by the cop, when sliding out of the funnel. As the pin |38 of the auxiliary thread guide |39 strikes against the inclined surface |34 of the forward moving cam plate, as' the cop is being ejected from the funnel the thread F is also moved forward toward the mouth of the funnel independently vof the position ofthe thread guide 30, so that the thread trailing from the cop asvit drops into the tray 42 will hang in a nearly 'vertical position between the blades of the scissors 43, which have meanwhile been opened by abutment |35 (Fig. 2). During the latter part of the movement of the rod 60 to the right, the'arm |24' yields to the abutment |3| and passes under the same, tensioning spring |26 which pulls it upon "the right side of theA abutment. Early in the return movement of the rod 60, which is caused by the compressed spring 10 and which beginswhenf the slide valve 90 cuts off the pressure supply to the right side of piston 35 and opens the right end of cylinder 36 to the return conduit 85, the arm |24 is tilted clockwise by the abutment I3 I. The pin |21 bears against the lever end |23 and tilts the lever |22 out of engagement with lug |28. The

I tailstock, thus released, and previously cleared ofY the spindle 6 and cop K, is pulled quickly to the left, where it is arrested in its starting position. In this position the bight of the thread lying between the auxiliary thread guide |39 and the scissors 43 is engaged by the notched face of the 4counter cone 39 and moved by the inclined surj of the right end of cylinder 36. Consequently the tip of the spindle 6, which was previously moved some distance to the left of the large end of the funnel 8, does not reach the counter cone 39 until the latter has engaged the bight of the thread and moved it to the position shown in Fig. 4. The tip of the spindle enters the bore of the counter cone shortly after and clamps the thread therein. This is followed by the shearing of the thread between the spindle and the finished cop by the shears 43, operated by the abutment |36. The tray 42 reaches the position shown in Fig. 1 at about this time and the cop slips off, being caught, for instance,`on a conveying band (not shown) The whole cop changing procedure is shown in the diagram, Fig. 5, the time and travel indicated being merely illustrative. The diagrams ofthe cedure are designated as follows: a for the spind1e s, 1; b for the clutch l5, 2| c for the countercone 39; d for the tipping tray 4 2; e' for the ejector |40; j for the auxiliary'thread guidey |39;

g for the scissors 43. The time intervals are indicated in seconds by 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

lAfter the correct length of the cophas been attained, the spindle first moves a, distance h of 260 mm. (in Figs. 1, 2 and 6 towardsthe left, in Fig. 5 towards the right) and in time intervals of three seconds. For the last 60 mm. the piston pushes the plate 64 in front of it. During the last travel of mm. of the spindle 6, 1 the 'rod 60 is at the same time moved towards the right, In the diagram shown in Fig. 5 it is indicated by corresponding projections in downward direction which movements are initiated and 'carried through during this travel of rod 60. These movements canv also be seen directly from the diagram, with the aid of the above description.

After these movements have been carried out, i. e. after the three seconds given by way of example, the backwardmovement of rod Ell'begins and therewith, under the influence of thecylinder spring 10, the forward movement of plate 64 and of piston 35. As the spring 10 must move plate 64 and Ypiston 35 in opposition to the still lled cylinder 36, and as spring 10 possesses further a certain stiffness, a slightly longer time is required for the return movement of the'rod 60 -into its initial position, i. e. for carrying out the travel of 60 mm., as is also indicated in the diagram. Also in this instance the corresponding movements are shownaccording to time and travel by projections in downwardl direction.

In order to facilitate the nding of the broken end when athread has broken, a bush I5I with inner cone' |52 is rotatably mounted on the cylinder 36, as shown in Fig. 6, and can be driven by a shaft |53. The ange |54 of bush I6 s constructed as clutch cone,'so that the driving bush I6 of spindle 6, 1 can be brought under the action of shaft |53 instead of under the `action of shaft 5. The shaft |53 revolves considerably slower than the shaft 5 and in opposite direction, so'that at the backward movement of spindle 6, 1 and of cop K, the threadend can be easily found. The engaging of clutch |52, |54

' is effected by a three-armed lever |55, |56, |51

struction. The arm |51 itself is under the acbehind the arm |56 of which the arm 95 of the star lever engages `as in the first form of contion of a pressure piston I 58 which is hydraulically driven as soon as'the three-way cock |59 is turned into position II (Fig. 8), yfor instance by means of a rod |60. This rod |60 can be moved by a handle or a pedal through the intermediary l'individual elements which take part in this pro- Hydraulic force may also be used for pulling the cop K out of the winding funnel 8 for finding the end of the broken thread. For this purpose the cock |59 is turned into the positionIII shown in Fig. 7, whereby the pump pressure acts upon the piston 35 from the left, at the side. of plate 64 and somewhat shifts the spindle 6, 1.

Fig. 6 shows anotherv construction of the means 66, 1|, 12 forpreventing the premature initiation of the bobbin changing operation when the cop K j is pulled back at'breaking of the thread, especially when the full length of cop has approximately been attained. f

A three-armed lever |63, |64,v |65 is lmounted Ona pin I62`and can be turned from the 'stop motion 44, or by means of a-handle |10; A spring |51 holds' this lever vin the locking position in engagement with a pawl-|68, |69. At `the breaking of the thread the lever I 63, |64', 65, as

" can'be seen from the drawings,l is liberatedas the stop motion 44 owing to the rockir'igl of vthe "locking'pawl |68, I 69.
